(For people that haven’t realised, there are certain “key codes” for the Dead Sea Scroll’s Manuscripts. 4Q stands for “Fourth Qumran Cave” (so therefore “2Q” would stand for “Second Qumran Cave” and so on and so forth), and manuscripts with XII in their title stand for “Twelve” and so refer to “The Twelve Minor Prophets”).

4Q77^b/4QXII^b

4Q80^e/4QXII^e

I still have the “larger” ones to do (100+ pages for most of them): 4, 5, 13, 40, 45, 46,
47, 66, 72, 75, and 115.

But as I said before, I’m now going to be concentrating on looking at the manuscripts found among the caves of Qumran (Dead Sea Scrolls), so check back here soon for some stuff regarding them

The new ones this week were the following: Uncial 0171, Uncial 0220, 87, 80, 77, 69, 67, 52, and 23.

This means I only have three more Greek Basis to complete: MattithYah, Lucus, and Acts. But as it happens, I’m very much in the mood for doing some more transcriptions and translations of all the oldest known Greek manuscripts of the Renewed Covenant books, so I shall be putting the Greek Basis on hold for the time being. Or knowing me, I’ll probably end up doing it in stages and letting you know when I’ve completed them all fully

Also, as the Dead Sea Scrolls Database was released for Logos Bible Software a couple of months ago (7th of March, to be exact), I have been itching to do a transcription and translation of all the Greek manuscripts that they found amidst the Dead Sea Scrolls, the most significant of which being named 8HevXII gr (which is technically from Nahal Hever, not Qumran), which contains quite a lot of the text of the 12 Minor prophets. I’d like to provide a full transcription and translation of it for this website, and thus allow others who don’t have money to cough up to Logos to be able to have a look at it

Anyway, that is my plan: hopefully I’ll be able to get it all done

I have now completed 21/27 books of the Renewed Covenant, with only the largest ones (MattithYah, Marcus, Lucus, Acts, Yahuchanon, & Revelation) left to do, which I shall be getting on with very soon

1 Corinthians Greek Basis
2 Corinthians Greek Basis
Romans
1 Timotheos
2 Timotheos
Hebrews
Galatians
Ephesians
Philippians

Anyway, I kept true to my words: I did finish “by February”… February 2011.

That’s right folks – I’ve finished! I’m done! I’ve finally completed the mission upon which I embarked with this, the publication of the translation of 2 Timotheos, both on the website, and in PDF form

A tiny, tiny word of warning: the translations in their entirety come to almost 815,000 words, so, please don’t think you’ll be able to read them all in one sitting, unless, of course, you can read at 565.972 words per minute, and can stay awake for 24 hours

Now, I think I deserve a bit of a break, wouldn’t you agree?

And to top it all off, whilst “knowledge” of a “public forum” on TWTY was unfortunately leaked several months ago, without actually knowing the web-address, no one could access it.

Today, that changed. Please feel free to join the forum
